Is this the next big thing in music?

Have you seen this yet? It’s already exceeded it’s Kickstarter campaign and reading some of the comments on YouTube, people are digging this. It’s called the Artiphon Instrument 1 and it claims it can be used to create literally any sound imaginable.

Not only can it mimic virtually any sound, but its unique design allows the user to play it like a guitar, a keyboard, a drum or something in between. “Basically, you can easily create new instrument presets and play them immediately,” boasts the description. “Want to strum a piano? Bow a banjo? Pluck a drum? Done.”
“Our goal is to create the most effortless music-making experience at any skill level. Music isn’t about gear; it’s about self-expression,” continues the page. “Every aspect of the Instrument 1 can be customized to behave the way you want it to. Tune it all to E-major if you like, adjust the sensitivity, or forget strumming altogether and let it auto-play the notes you press.”
